  • the water tank 18 is detachable from the first door 10 as the hook portion 45 of the elastic lever 41 is caught by or released from the holder portion 42 of the first door 10.
  • the user can manually separate the water tank 18 from the first door 10 when it is desired to inject water into the entrance 21 formed at the top of the water tank 18.
  • valve 20 is automatically controlled to intercept water flowing to the water tank 18 and supply water only to the icemaker 15, thereby preventing leakage of water.
  • a filter receptacle 81 is provided between the dispenser 16 and the water tank 18 to accommodate the filter 19 which purifies water supplied to the dispenser 16.
  • the filter receptacle 81 is defined by indented portions of the dispenser 16 and the water tank 18 and has a shape corresponding to the filter 19 such that the filter 19 is inserted between the dispenser 16 and the water tank 18.

  • a valve may be provided at a junction of a hose where the water tank 18 is connected to the icemaker 15 and the dispenser 16 so as to selectively supply water stored in the water tank 18 to the icemaker 15 or the dispenser 16. In this case, as the water, which has been cooled to an appropriate temperature in the water tank 18, is supplied to the icemaker 15, energy required for ice making may be reduced.
  • one or more embodiments of the present disclosure may include a refrigerator in which a water tank and a filter usable with a dispenser are installed to a rear surface of a door, having a simplified pipe structure connecting the dispenser and the water tank to each other and guaranteeing reliable sanitation of water discharged from the dispenser.
  • the refrigerator according to the embodiments results in an expanded storage space.
  • the water tank and the filter are detachably mounted to the rear surface of the door, the user can easily access the water tank and the filter in order to clean or replace them or to directly supply water into the water tank.
